If you’re looking for the perfect summer salad to bring to a cookout, serve at a dinner party, or enjoy with on the patio, this Peach Burrata Salad is one of my all-time favorites.
It’s fresh, colorful, and looks incredibly impressive, but comes together in just a few minutes with simple ingredients. Creamy burrata, fresh basil, juicy peaches, and a drizzle of balsamic make this one of those recipes everyone asks for.
I’ve served this salad at everything from girls’ nights to family dinners, and it never disappoints.
And I know you’re going to ask…”did the kids eat it?” Yes and no. They demolished the peaches and the prosciutto but left the cheese. So kind of?
Grilled Peach Burrata Salad Ingredients & Tips
Here’s what you’ll need to make this light and flavorful Peach Burrata Salad:
- Fresh peaches: Buy the ripest you can find, juicy but still firm enough to grill.
- A really good olive oil: we LOVE Kosterina
- Balsamic vinegar: adds a tangy finish that complements the sweetness of the peaches
- Prosciutto: thinly sliced and perfectly salty. You can also use grilled steak or grilled chicken.
- Burrata cheese: creamy and rich; I’ve found the most affordable place to buy burrata is Trader Joe’s! Bring it to room temperature before using, and tear it instead of slicing.
- Arugula or spring mix: choose your favorite greens as the base
- Fresh basil leaves: tear them instead of slicing to release more flavor
- Salt & freshly cracked pepper: finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt to bring it all together.
